DISTANCE OF THE HORIZON
What is the distance of the horil
from the sea-shore? Owing to
curvature of the earth's surface
distance between a spectator on
sea-shore and the dip0f the hori'
becomes greater according to
height of the spectator above
level of the sea. The rule for me-
uring this distance is as follows:
the height of the eye in feet add /
the height, and extract the squ|
root of the sum, the result being
distance in statute miles. Hence
the spectators eye were six 1
above the level of the sea, the d
tance would be three miles; if
eye were ten feet above the le|
of the sea, the distance would
nearly four miles, and so on for 4
height above the sea level.-Ch

the middle Of the last century lit
tie ragged boy named Saunders made
his appearance at the door of an at
torney's office at Clements Inn, Lon
don. He was cast upon the world in
absolute want; he knew nothing Of
parents; he had not friend, and he
knew of no roof beneath which he
had a right to lay his head. He
asked for the opportunity to do er-
rands and for a crust and cover in
return. The attorney found him
bright and prompt and employed
him, and the boy proved to be faith
full and earnest in the discharge OF
such business as was given him to do.
BY and by the boy, when he had
been admitted to sleep in the office,
expressed a desire to learn to write.
The attorney rugged him low desk
in far corner and set him copies,
and was pleased, also, to assist him
at times by personal direction. The
boy developed bold, clear and
beautiful hand, and by the time he
was Is he had become a correct and
rapid writer. He was now trans
ferred to the inner office and set at
the work of writing important legal
papers. This gave him an insight
into and a taste for legal lore, and
he studied hard-studied so hard
and to such good purpose that in
time he came to afford his employer
sound and valuable counsel in i'm
portant matters. His diligence was
untiring, his faithfulness unswerv-
ing and his ambition unchecked.
He worked his way up to the bar
and became one of the most eminent
and effective practitioners of his
time; and this man, whose entrance
into the struggle Of life had been
from so low and unprOmising a
station, by proper use of the fOrtu-
nate qualities inherited, became up
on the death of Pemberton, Lord
Chief Justice of England.
WOMAN.-At no period Of the
worlds history has the influence of
women both directly, or indirectly
been so fully acknowledged as to-
day. The open college doors and the
| invitation to woman to a wider field
and more active participation in the
busy world has no effect to rob the
sex of any womanly charm, as croak-
ers foretOld. When the history of
the last quarter of the nineteenth
century is written, the historian will
write over against the names ofmany
women the word illustrious. 1t can
not fail of record that woman
aroused the people in the great con-
test which ended in knocking the
shackles from six million slaves. 1t
was left to the voice of another wo-
man to arouse the dormant energies
of the nation to the wrongs Of the
Indian, and to outline the reform in
augurated. In literature she has ex-
erted most healthful influences, while
in politics, as wives of Presidents
and statesmen, the ennobling in
fuences have been so marked and
positive as to call out Nations
thanks and gratitude. The most
hopeful sign of the times is that
these reforms will not 20 backward
that humanity will have its sympa-
thies enlarged, and that the rights of
every class will he more sacrcdly
protected.

CHARACTER.-The is no possession
that is comparable to character. 1t is the
diamond which cuts every other stone;
with it man can penetrate and pass
through any wall of difficulty. With it
eyery misfortune is but a stepping stone
to some noble and lofty end. 1t is an
armor like that fabled one that fell down
from Jupiter. Clad in it a man can breast
all earthly storm, and bid defiance even
to the gates of hell. Said the late w. II.
Vanderbilt, 81 am the richest man in the
world" But the poorest peasant who
seeks first the kingdom Of God and his
Righteousness is richer than he was when
he uttered those boastful words. l heard
a great orator, standing over the dead
form of an humble Christian, say: "Ihere
lies man who never did mean thing"
I would rather have that said OF me than
to have all the gold of Australia, or the
pearls of the ocean. I would rather leave
such tribute as legacy to my child than
to leave him crown or klngdom.-J.
3. Huacthorne.
On THE WING.-Supposing the rate of
a birds flight to be taken at forty, fifty or
sixty miles an hour, the sportsman mas
only to remember that mile an hour is
almost exactly equivalent to one and a
half feet per second, and thus he has a
ready means of comparison with the tables
of Velocity. These show, for example,
that with an ordinary sporting charge
thirds and one and one-eighth ounces the
mean volicity of No. or No. shot, in a
range of thirty-fve yards, about 800 feet
a second, or at a rate of 600 miles an hour;
and so, on comparing this 600 miles with
the speed of the birds flight, it will be
found that the shot moves ten times as
fast as bird going sixty miles an hour;
twelve times as fast as one that flies fifty
miles an hour, and fifteen times as fast as
one which goes forty miles an hour. Con-
sequently they would fly about two and
quarter yards, three yards ana three nI al ana ID
half yards respectively, while the shot
is travelling thirty-five yards at the rate
given above.-NeW York Herald.

THE CAUCUSEs.

Senator Harrison Nominated by the Repub>
Hcans by Reclamation for Reelection.
The work Of the Republican senatorial caucus
last night was done quickly and quietly. The
proceedings were not disturbed by any Of the
spirit OF factional dissension and strife that
characterized the Democratic caucus on Thurs
day night, and the nomination of Senator Har-
rison as the partys candidate for reelection to
the United States Senate was made By
reclamation, there being no opposition to him.
The Republican members of the General Assem-
bly, were prompt in gathering, and all wer4l.
present with the exception of Representatives
Gates, Mackey, Glover and Little, the last-namsd
being absent on account OF illness. The caucug
appointed Senator Huston to make the speech
presenting Senator Harrison's name to the
joint convention, and Representative Grihfths,
of this county. was designated as the member to
second the nomination.

SENATOR HARRIsON,s NOMINATION.

The Republican caucus last night by ac-
clamation, nominated Hon. Benjamin Harri-
son for reelection to the Senate of the United
States. This was foregone conclusion, a
mere formal matter; and yet, now that it has
been done, it is proper to say that it is an
honor well earned by faithful and dis
tinguished service for six years in the highest
law-making body of the Nation, and by work
in the recent campaign and election-and in
deed, extending over period of two years,
ever since the passage of the Infamous
gerrymander-whichs show General Harrison s
skill as political leader, as well as his indom-
liable pluck and courageous devotion as a
Republican. If man ever earned such an
honor from his party Senator Harrison has;
and if the people of the State, through ma
jority of the legally elected members of the
Legislature, shall ratify the choice and re-
turn General Harrison to the Senate for an
other term of six years, the State and Nation
will be benefited and congratulations will
be mutually in order

The wardens of the northern and southern
State prisons are and have been in this city
Murdoch for some time. They have been en-
gagged as 'heelers" for the Democratic gang, to
the neglect of the duties for which they are paid
by the State. We call the attention of the
Republican House Of Representatives to this
fact. Let these men go home to their proper
duties, or let the House see how the prisons
are running during their absence. If the in
stitutions do as well while they are gone as
when they are on duty, it would be well to
make their absence permanent.

uttering the libel"
This is an old, very old chestnut. One
enthusiastic Democratic paper said the Journal
should be made to Sweat for what it had

solution had not occurred to them before.
That this explanation was not suggested by
the nature of her antics can only be accounted
for by her sex-a fact that speaks well for the
reputation of women for sobrietv. A man

those with which Mrs. Emmons was accus-
toned to entertain her acquaintance would at
once be charged with being drunk.

THE SLAUGHTER OF MIR. McnoNAL1


The Indiana Democracy never made a
greater mistake or committed greater out
rage than in slaughtering Hon. Joseph E.
Mcdonald and nominating David Turpie for
United States Senator This is looking at the
matter from party stand point and from
their side. They have made greater mistakes
in matters of public policy, and committed
outrages on the Constitution and laws that
were of more serious import and fraught with
greater damage to the people; but in political
and party sense they never were guilty of
greater blunder or a greater wrong than the
brutal butchery of Mr.. Mcdonald We have
said before, and We repeat, that Mr.. Mcdonald
is not man Of brilliant parts or commanding
ability, and is lacking in many of the ele-
ments Of leadership; but he possesses more
than average ability, is thoroughly honest, is
fairly well equipped for public life, and is
easily the foremost Democrat in the State

DEMOCRATIC HONESTY.

A Democratic Governor, by virtue Of law
enacted by Democrats, asked the opinion of a
Democratic Attorney general as to the vacan-
cy in the Office of Democratic Lieutenant
governor, and the Democratic Attorney-een-
eral held there was vacancy in that Office
that should be filled in the November election
in 1886. The Democratic State convention
nominated a Democratic candidate to head the
Democratic ticket and to fill that vacancy.
The Democrats Of Indiana voted at that cleo
ton for the Democratic candidate nearly two
hundred and thirty thousand strong. The
Democratic election and county officers made
return of the vote to a Democratic Secretary
of State, and the Democratic Secretary of
State, compelled by Democratic Supreme
Court, makes return Of all the votes cast for
Lieutenant governor to the Speaker Of the
House of Representatives, and that officer
canvasses the vote and finds Robert S. Rob-
ertson, Republican. elected by majority
Of over three thousand, and then the Demo
Gratis deny the validity of the election.
Everybody knows there would have been
no question of the validity of the election had
the Democratic nominee received more votes
than Colonel Robertson.
Such is Democratic honesty.
